cardiomyopathy Flashcards
how to you calculate cardiac output
HR x SV
how do you calculate stroke volume
edv-esv
Which layer of the heart are the coronaries found in
epicardium
What layer of the heart is the electrical system found in
Myocardium
What does a positive chronotrope do
increase heart rate
What does a negative chronotrope do
lower heart rate
What factors increase heart rate
Sympathetic system
Hyperthyroidism
hypoxemia / acidosis
Meds
what factors decrease heart rate
parasympathetic
athletes
meds
What factors determine the stroke volume
end diastolic volume
&
end systolic volume
What is ejection fraction determined by
the blood volume that get pumped out with each heart beat
*should be half the volume in the ventricle
What determines how much blood volume a ventricle can hold
degree of myocyte stretch
What is the Frank Starling curve
A curve that shows the optimal contractility / expansion of the heart
What is the most common referencing disease process of the LV
Cardiomyopathy
What is cardiomyopathy
disease process that changes the cardiac structure (effects myocardium itself)
What are the different types of cardiomyopathy
hypertrophic
dilated
arrythmogenic
restrictive
unclassified
What are the most common causes of cardiomyopathy
genetic (most common)
mixed
acquired
What is takotsubo
broken heart syndrome
*catecholamine surge that causes ventricular ballooning
What is the classification system of cardiomyopathy
M O G E S classification
